Q
Is it possible to have no visual imagination?
A
Expert Answer
Aphantasia (inability to form mental images) affects ~2-3% of people. They can think, remember, and imagine conceptually but don't 'see' images in their mind's eye. Most discover they have aphantasia when they realize others actually see mental images—they assumed 'picture this' was metaphorical.
